Referred to the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.
Requires the Secretary of Transportation, with the Coast Guard Commandant and the Secretary of Defense, to deliver a report within one year assessing security deficiencies at the Soo Locks. The report must analyze supply chain, logistical, and economic effects of a Soo Locks malfunction or failure, identify threats, describe current security roles, and provide recommendations with cost estimates to strengthen security and reduce supply chain impacts.
Liberals want funding, environmental and worker considerations emphasized
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-scoped reporting requirement that clearly states objectives, responsible officials, recipients, and a firm deadline, and it specifies the substantive topics the report must address.

It designates three congressional committees as recipients.
Content is narrow, administrative, and uncontroversial which aids passage, but many study bills fail without cosponsorship or package placement.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberals want funding, environmental and worker considerations emphasized
Likely supportive because the bill directs federal attention to infrastructure vulnerability and supply-chain resilience.
Would stress that the report should recommend concrete investments, worker protections, and environmental/climate resilience measures.
Generally favorable as a targeted, time-limited study to inform policy.
Will look for clear cost estimates, actionable recommendations, and avoidance of duplicative assessments.
Likely supportive on national-security and commerce grounds but cautious about follow-on spending or expanded federal control.
Prefers efficient, narrowly scoped assessments that avoid mission creep.
